2006 Ford Fusion Milan Premier review from North America
"Excellent Car except the arm rest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This review is for a Mercury Milan Premier. The web site does not have the Milan in the selection for mercury cars yet.
I know that the fusion is the same car, or so I am told.
The car drives 100X better than my old SUV and I am getting about 25mpg average with most of it being mid city driving.
My only issue with the car is that the center arm rest for the front seat occupants is so short that you can’t drive and relax you right arm at the same time. The solution is to drive with your left arm, but guess what, the radio controls on the steering wheel are on the right side.
I don’t see how Mercury/Ford could have built such a perfect car and overlooked such an obvious thing.
I have 22,000 miles on the car now and it drives as it did when new. The car handles great in the rain and interior noise is very low.
The car will surprise you in room with all categories being very pleasing except the windshield sets a bit too far back and intrudes into head space.
